Chloe Bibby Bio
Chloe Louise Bibby (born 15 June 1998) is an Australian professional basketball player who most recently played for the Indiana Fever of the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA). Standing 188 cm (6 ft 2 in) and listed at 88 kg, she plays as a forward and stretch four. She also competes for Uni Girona CB in Spain’s Liga Femenina de Baloncesto. Over the course of her career, Bibby has built a reputation as a versatile scorer who has produced standout individual seasons in both European and Australian competitions.
Born and raised in regional Victoria, Bibby came up through local basketball pathways before moving to the United States for college. She has represented Australia at youth and senior international levels, adding international experience to her professional résumé across the WNBL, NBL1 South, Poland’s top league, and Spain’s top flight.
Early Life and Background
Chloe Louise Bibby was born on 15 June 1998 in Horsham, Victoria, Australia. She grew up in the Victorian countryside and attended Warracknabeal High School in the state’s Wimmera region. Her early years in a tight-knit rural community helped shape a competitive edge that would later define her on-court identity.
Bibby later moved to Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, where she completed her senior schooling at Rowville College. The switch exposed her to stronger metropolitan competition and gave her a clearer view of professional pathways. By her mid-teens, she had already joined the Dandenong Rangers system, signaling her intent to pursue basketball at a high level.
Path to Basketball
Bibby’s development path began in the WNBL system when she debuted for the Dandenong Rangers during the 2013–14 WNBL season as a teenager. She spent four seasons with the Rangers, gaining valuable minutes against senior professionals while balancing her high school commitments. In parallel, she played for the Rangers’ South East Australian Basketball League (SEABL) team in 2015 and 2016, winning back-to-back SEABL championships.
In 2017, she joined the Bendigo Braves of the SEABL and helped the club reach the grand final. That same year, she was recognized as the SEABL Youth Player of the Year and earned All-SEABL First Team honours. These achievements confirmed her readiness for the next step, and in 2017 she moved to the United States to play college basketball for the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
Chloe Bibby Career
Early Career (2013–2017)
Bibby’s early professional years were split between the Dandenong Rangers in the WNBL and the SEABL. Her SEABL stint produced immediate team success, with championships in 2015 and 2016, and her strong individual play in 2017 with the Bendigo Braves underlined her status as one of the league’s top young talents. The combination of WNBL experience and SEABL production created a foundation for her college recruitment.
Across those four WNBL seasons, she developed the inside-out skill set that has since become her trademark. Playing multiple frontcourt positions at a young age allowed her to refine her shooting touch, which later became one of her biggest assets at the next level.
Mississippi State Bulldogs (2017–2020)
Bibby joined the Mississippi State Bulldogs in 2017 and played three seasons in the Southeastern Conference. Competing in one of the most physical conferences in U.S. college basketball helped her add strength and toughness to her game. She became a reliable contributor from the perimeter and in the post for the Bulldogs.
Following the 2019–20 season, Bibby entered the NCAA transfer portal and joined the Maryland Terrapins. The move allowed her to finish her college career in a new environment and to compete in the Big Ten.
Maryland Terrapins (2020–2022)
At Maryland, Bibby played two seasons in the Big Ten and quickly became a focal point of the Terrapins’ frontcourt. In 2022, she was named to the Second-team All-Big Ten, recognizing her production as a stretch four. Her ability to space the floor and score from outside gave Maryland a versatile offensive option.
Across her two Maryland seasons, she built a reputation as a consistent scorer and rebounder, helping to stabilize the Terrapins’ rotation. Her college career ended with her going undrafted in the 2022 WNBA draft.
WNBA and Australian Leagues (2022–2023)
After going undrafted in 2022, Bibby signed a training camp contract with the Minnesota Lynx but was waived on 2 May 2022. She returned to Australia, where she played for the Kilsyth Cobras in 2022 and then signed with the Perth Lynx of the WNBL for the 2022–23 season. In 2023, she joined the Frankston Blues of the NBL1 South and was named to the NBL1 South All-Star Five.
Polish League (2023–2024)
For the 2023–24 season, Bibby moved to Europe to play for AZS AJP Gorzów Wielkopolski in the Polish Basket Liga Kobiet. In her only season with the club, she averaged 20.9 points and 5.9 rebounds domestically and added 22 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 2.2 steals per game in EuroCup Women competition. Her dominant individual season earned her the Polish League MVP award.
Uni Girona CB (2024–Present)
In June 2024, Bibby signed with Uni Girona CB of Spain’s Liga Femenina de Baloncesto. Girona won the regular season title, and Bibby was named the league’s MVP after averaging 18.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game. Because Girona’s regular season finish secured direct qualification to the 2025–26 EuroLeague Women, she was permitted to leave early and join a WNBA training camp. She re-signed with Girona for the 2025–26 season but missed the start due to a knee injury sustained in the WNBA.
Indiana Fever (2025)
Bibby’s WNBA breakthrough came in 2025. After a brief stint with the Golden State Valkyries, where she was waived and then re-signed before being released again, she signed a seven-day contract with the Indiana Fever on 25 July 2025. She was signed for the remainder of the season on 1 August. Before the Fever’s 22 August game, she was listed as out with a left knee injury and was ruled out for the remainder of the season on 4 September. Fever head coach Stephanie White noted that her knee had become swollen with travel and that she would not be ready before the season ended.
WNBA Trade to Phoenix Mercury (2026)
On 3 April 2026, Bibby was selected 11th overall by the Portland Fire in the 2026 WNBA expansion draft, with her rights acquired from the Indiana Fever. On 6 May 2026, the Phoenix Mercury announced that they had acquired Bibby from the Portland Fire via trade. She was waived by the Mercury within 48 hours, becoming an unrestricted free agent.
Notable Events and Milestones
Bibby’s most celebrated individual milestone came in 2024, when she was named Polish League MVP in her only season with AZS AJP Gorzów Wielkopolski. She followed that with a Liga Femenina MVP in 2024–25 with Uni Girona, making her one of the few Australians to earn top individual honours in two top European leagues in successive seasons. She was also recognized with NBL1 South All-Star Five selections in 2023 and 2024.
Chloe Bibby Career Wins
Chloe Louise Bibby has compiled a varied and successful resume across Australian, European, and American competitions. While her European individual honours stand out, her team success began early with two SEABL championships as a teenager with the Dandenong Rangers.
SEABL Highlights
Bibby won SEABL championships in 2015 and 2016 with the Dandenong Rangers, establishing herself as a winner in her formative years. In 2017, with the Bendigo Braves, she helped the team reach the SEABL grand final and earned All-SEABL First Team honours along with SEABL Youth Player of the Year. She was later named to the NBL1 South All-Star Five in both 2023 and 2024.
Chloe Bibby Family
Personal Life
Chloe Louise Bibby was raised in Horsham, Victoria, and later moved to the Melbourne area to attend Rowville College. Public details about her family and personal life beyond her education and athletic career are limited, and she has generally kept her private life out of the public eye.
2025 Season Performance
Bibby’s 2025 campaign was a tale of two continents. In Europe, she starred for Uni Girona CB in the Liga Femenina, winning the regular season title and the league MVP award while averaging 18.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.2 assists. She then returned to the WNBA, where she made her debut on 17 June with the Golden State Valkyries in an 88–77 win over the Indiana Fever, scoring 12 points in 24 minutes off the bench. She was later waived by Golden State before being signed by the Indiana Fever in late July.
Her time with the Fever ended abruptly when a left knee injury flared up during the team’s travel schedule. Despite earlier signs of momentum after averaging 6.4 points and 2.8 rebounds in five games with Golden State, Bibby was ruled out for the remainder of the 2025 WNBA season on 4 September. The injury carried into the 2025–26 EuroLeague Women campaign with Girona, where she missed the start of the season while recovering.
Looking ahead, Bibby is expected to continue her recovery and re-establish herself as a key contributor for Uni Girona in Spain’s top flight. With both WNBL and WNBA options still on the table, her 2025 performances in Europe and limited WNBA minutes suggested she remains in line for further opportunities at the highest level once healthy.
